I recently procured one of the shave sets from classic shave (http://www.classicshaving.com/catalo...1/3874878.htm).

It came with the razor (Dovo 5/8th), leather/linen strop, brush, mug, and Lynn's DVD. I emailed with the folks at classic shaving to see whether I should have it sent to Lynn enroute to me. The guy told me that it should be good to go. I tried shaving with it today and I think it might need to be honed. The shave wasn't very close and my face is currently burning up with razor burn. I didn't even get to the cross grain strokes because my face hurt so much. I also hadn't shaved in a week or so, so the hairs were pulling some. I wasn't sure if the problem was the blade itself, or perhaps my whiskers were just too long.

Has anyone else gotten one of these sets? Comments?

I know one can utilize Lynn's service through Classic Shaving. I'm beginning to think I should do so. Any advice is appreciate.

Cheers,
